Brad Thompson suggests Under The Eiffel as an each-way special in the Group Three Victoria Handicap (1400m) at Caulfield on Saturday.

Currently quoted at $8.40 for the win, and $2.82 for the place, Under The Eiffel is too big of a price for a classy horse that should get the race run to suit.

The only query is the wide barrier, and how much petrol is saved to unleash his strong turn of foot in the latter stages of the race will depend on where jockey Mark Zahra can slot in from gate 15 ( which comes into 14 after scratchings).

But the glaring positive for the four-year-old son of Mossman is the abundance of pace in the race.

Eight Schillings, Shock Value and the speedy Budriguez are jut a few of the many that are likely to put speed in the race.

Trainer Tony Vasil elected to take Under The Eiffel to New South Wales for the Group Three Newmarket Handicap on March 21, where he finished encouragingly for fourth behind He's Remarkable.

Under the Eiffel drops one kilogram from that run, and a whopping four kilograms from his first-up run in Melbourne when third in a simillar race behind Luck San.

He should relish the return to his home track of Caulfield, where he has raced just once for a second behind Dusty Star at Group Two level.
